Aston Martin has something big in the works, as these spy photos show. The shooter that snapped this four-door ran the plates and confirmed it’s registered to Aston, and from the looks of it this isn’t just a gussied up Rapide we’re looking at.

The extra-long wheelbase and angular C-pillar make it look nothing like anything else in Aston’s lineup. That’s because this won’t be part of the regular lineup. An Aston Martin spokesman confirmed that the camo’d vehicle is “one of a bespoke series of coach-built cars,” and concluded with, “much is possible through Q by Aston Martin — including bespoke offerings just like the CC100.” As you may recall, Q by Aston Martin is the brand’s personalization service, which employs the Gaydon-based automaker’s design team to deliver “tailor-made” cars to customers with deep enough pockets. The one-off CC100 that debuted last year was one of Q by Aston Martin’s projects, and apparently shows that the sky’s the limit for what the service can do.

Our source in England tells us this car will likely be called Lagonda, and that it will be a special-edition model with production numbers similar to the One-77, and priced a bit higher than the last Zagato. Despite its massively stretched look, the car is still based on the VH platform, and is intended as a “last hurrah” for that architecture. Power will come from a 5.9-liter V-12 sourced from the upcoming Vanquish S — a more powerful version of the current Vanquish — and we’re told there will be plenty of it. Expect 550-600 hp. The completeness of this test mule hints that the car is pretty close to (limited) production, and our U.K. man confirms that, saying a late 2014/early 2015 launch is the target.
